Fedora Core 4 Final, Need Assistance

jlacroix · 06-13-2005, 08:05 PM

Hello all, I am typing this from my brand new FC4 Final installation, and everything is working except a minor glitch with ZSNES. ZSNES worked great with all the previous FC releases, but I have very "crackly" sound with ZSNES in FC4, which is unusual.

With FC3, these commands placed in .bash_profile fixed it for me:

Code:

#SDL_AUDIODRIVER=alsa
#export SDL_AUDIODRIVER

However that has no effect anymore and I was wondering what could cause ZSNES to do this.

Also, how long does it take for a version of APT to come out for FC4? I checked with freshrpms and they don't have it yet, I need it so I can enable my mp3 gstreamer stuff and get totem-xine.

Thanks all!

Apt is available in the extras repo ....
yum list |grep apt

Code:

synaptics.i386                           0.14.0-2               installed
apt.i386                                 0.5.15cnc7-2           extras
apt-devel.i386                           0.5.15cnc7-2           extras
apt-groupinstall.i386                    0.5.15cnc7-2           extras
apt-python.i386                          0.5.15cnc7-2           extras
synaptic.i386                            0.55.3-3               extras

and totem is available in the livna repo which you can add. I also find this handy for installing k3b-mp3 support.

Code:

Enabling mp3 support in k3b for making audio cds which will auto run.
 
1. create new file /etc/yum.repos.d/livna.repo, with the following contents:

[livna-stable]
name=Livna.org Fedora Compatible Packages (stable)
baseurl= http://rpm.livna.org/fedora/4/i386/RPMS.lvn/
#baseurl= http://rpm.livna.org/fedora/3/i386/RPMS.stable
enabled=1
gpgcheck=1

2. Import the GPG-Key for livna
rpm --import http://rpm.livna.org/RPM-LIVNA-GPG-KEY

3. yum install k3b-mp3

yum list |grep totem

Code:

mozilla-totem-xine.i386                  1.0.2-0.lvn.2.4        livna-stable
totem.i386                               1.0.2-1                base
totem-devel.i386                         1.0.2-1                base
totem-xine.i386                          1.0.2-0.lvn.2.4        livna-stable
totem-xine-devel.i386                    1.0.2-0.lvn.2.4        livna-stable

Thank you, I got apt installed and synaptic, but there aren't any repositories listed when I check the sources.list file. Is there a working FC4 repository yet?
